Vikings WR Bisi Johnson reportedly out for season after tearing ACL
MINNEAPOLIS -- Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson will reportedly miss a second straight season due to a torn ACL.
Johnson left Saturday's preseason game against the Denver Broncos with a knee injury. On Sunday, the NFL Network reported he tore his ACL and is out for the year.
Johnson, 25, missed all of the 2021 season after tearing an ACL in training camp. According to the NFL Network, Saturday's injury occurred in his other knee, not the same one as last year.
While the Vikings' top three receiver spots are seemingly set with Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn, Johnson was in the running for the fourth spot. In his career, he's caught 45 passes for 483 yards and three touchdowns.
The Vikings went 0-3 in Kevin O'Connell's first preseason as head coach. Their first regular season game is Sept. 11 at home against the Green Bay Packers.
